my friend wants to use msn at college, from what i can gather his college security stops the url dead in its tracks. i dont know exactly what/when its stopping him but iwas told a long while back about a program that may helpl this type of thing.

if for instance you wanted to look at porn you could use this proxy filter program iirc and it would mask the url to something you can always view.....like google is never blocked on security systems

anyways how could he mask/coverup/trick the firewall or whatever the hell is blocking the online msn url?

you can prolly access it with a cgi proxy, (google:cgi proxy) most are probably blocked, bad links or slow though.

basically all ur internet traffic from the college machine goes through a proxy server in college before its let on the internet, this filters it through word lists and other various things (ours even searches pictures for skin colour tones o_O). to get around that you either need to hide the pages from the server (like above) or circumvent the proxy entirely by connecting to ur home pc then out to the net by setting up a proxy or VPN server at home... depends on the situation at college tho.

Id say if theyve got a hefty proxy up its not gonna work for msn and you wont be able to d/l it from the orignal site either as its cookie loveing and most url proxys dont work with it.

edit - http://www.x303.com is quite a nice one aswell.
